Chapter 5: You Can't Hang Brain Forever

Agent 30 continued to silently advance toward the 2 men near the campfire. He moved from cover to cover as he went forward. Even though he had activated his "Sneak" skill, he still knew far too little about it to trust it would keep him fully concealed. He fell back on his training which had never failed him...

[Well... except the time I kinda died... and that other time I died... BUT this time will be DIFFERENT!]

When he got close enough, from behind the cover of a bush, he could hear their voices.

Bald Man: "!!!@#$#!%%!!"

Eye Patch Man: "!&@%$^@$@$"

[Guess it is too much to ask to get a translation huh?]

**Universal Translator skill obtained. Auto activated.**

[Huh? Seriously WTF is that voice and these "skills". I'm not even a lowly redshirt but I got a Universal Translator?!? Alright deal with it later, what are they saying...]

Bald Man: "I told you I'm dun first! Remember the last raid when you went first?!? Now's my turn!"

Eye Patch Man: "Fuck you! That shouldn't count! She barely lasted a few minutes before she just up and croaked. How's dat fair?"

Bald Man: "No one told you to be so damn rough, especially after the higher ups in the crew had her! Not me fault you are dumber than a Minotaur's arse! Among dem merchants in the convoy this time that lass was the prettiest, I want to have at her before you fucken kill her! I just hope the others don't mess her up too much, makes it hard to pretend she ain't a hand me down. HAHAHA"

The men continued their conversation as Agent 30 was hidden in the darkness a slight crease in his brow. He wasn't disgusted with them, he did not have that emotional capacity. He merely was deciding on what the best method was to remove these obstacles. He could not sense anyone else around, and based on his previous battle his physical abilities were higher than they have ever been. but he still knew too little about this world. He didn't have a baseline to work off of, for all he knew a child could do what he just did.

"There are only 2 of them, based on the facts that they have quite a few scars, they can definitely be harmed. They look human, so hopefully their vitals points are still around the same places..."

Agent 30 mumbled to himself as he assessed the situation. He needed food, shelter, and supplies. He didn't know what was edible or dangerous in the woods, these men resembled humans, and he was quite good at killing. As he made up his mind the crease in his brow vanished, and his eyes became sharp. He was in "Sneak" mode, but who knew how useful it was?

"Back to basics."

As he mumbled those words, he launched himself from cover, and as he did he heard the voice again.

**Combat Perception auto activated**

The world came to a crawl again as he advanced towards the back of the Bald Man. He had seen that the man had a dagger on the back of his waist before, and immediately went to grab it. As he grabbed the dagger, he could see the men moving in slow motion as they reacted to him. However, it was all too late. With dagger in hand he grabbed the Bald Man's head with one arm, and slit his throat before he even got up. As he saw the Eye Patch Man slowly getting up, he threw the dagger as hard as he could with pin point accuracy. The moment it embedded itself in between his eyes, the world went back to normal. The Eye Patch Man crumpled to the ground as he released the Bald Man from his grasp, and let him drop.

[Geez they stink! Well... I guess it is still better than going to the mall right?!?... Forever alone...Never mind! I can't be hanging brain forever, time to go clothes shopping!]

He needed gear and these men were wearing some basic leather armor. Something was better than nothing. He quickly looted the corpses and put on some basic apparel from a mixture of the 2. Wiping off the dagger on the remains of the Bald Man he crouched and advanced toward the entrance of the cave. His footsteps came to a stop 10 meters from the mouth of the cave.

[I wonder if this thing is voice activated.. Alexa! Activate "Sneak" skill!]

**....**

[Shit... I don't know how to activate it again.]

As he was about to think of something else to say, he heard the voice in his head again, although there seemed to be a twinge of annoyance in the prim and proper voice.

**Sneak skill activated**

With that his body turned transparent and it felt like he was feather light again. His right eye slightly twitched as we made his way forward into the cave...
